Happy New Year, Guys (and a Leave Request)

After one trip, I came back feeling dizzy and feverish, alternating between chills and heat, with my throat tightening up.

So I bought some test strips and checked. Sure enough, I tested positive again.

By today, mouth ulcers had appeared too, becoming the last straw that broke me.

So, guys, you really need to wear masks when traveling far from home.

Since it happened to be New Year's Day, I'll just go with the flow and give myself a break, hehe.

I don't know how 2024 went for you, Reader, but for me, it was a year full of ups and downs.

I wrote a novel with over ten thousand subscriptions, paid off a lot of debt, and improved my standard of living.

But at the same time, I was diagnosed with a mental illness, and the side effects of the medication threw both my sleep schedule and diet into complete chaos.

I don't know whether a year like this was ultimately good or bad, but all I could do was accept it.

Just like Liu Zheng, since there was no choice, all he could do was keep moving forward.

But lately, the medication's side effects seemed to have eased up a little. Maybe my body had adjusted to it.

So in 2025, I hope I can update more often, you, Reader, can enjoy it more, and I can pay off all my debts.

I also hope you, Reader, have smooth lives, make lots of money, and preferably win big on Scratch-Off Lottery tickets every day before sending me tips.

I'm not greedy. If you win a hundred bucks, just send me one Silver Treasure Chest.
